Did you start driving it more recently? It seemed like it took you forever to get to 3k... Damn I am at 23k on my IX already.

Surprisingly I've only had one issue with it so far and it's a glitchy iDrive pre-ventilation thing. I've read a possible fix is to disconnect the car from the app and reset iDrive but I've just been too lazy since I'm pretty sure that means I'll have to redo the coding changes, presets, and everything else.

That makes sense. We’re in a similar boat as far as family arrangements. My main concern was always that I’d have to DD my fancy car and feel like it’s falling apart because of that. (My commute is shit, and it would bake in the sun for 10hrs)

My commute is about 12ish miles but unfortunately the car is street parked on the mean streets of northeast philly so pucker factor is extremely high. The city also just put speed bumps in for a large stretch of the commute so that's fun.
I was thinking this exact thing when I crossed 10k. Do I really want to keep mileage down for the next guy? Nope. I bought this car to enjoy, resale be damned.

Nah, it’s just that it’s not enjoyable to drive a performance oriented vehicle over long distances through shitty roads IMO. Again my opinion only. Fuck the next guy I just want my own shit to be nice and not littered with road debris, cracked windshields, sun faded interiors etc. that’s why I lease cars that get DDed

Its not like its that likely you'll get rear ended driving it to work 1-2 times a week.

Evenflo 360 slims. Dude is getting to be a little too heavy for carrying around in the infant seat. He's almost 20lbs at 7 months so I'm guessing they'll probably go in both cars within a month.

Ah. Yeah I can’t carry my daughter in her seat anymore. I just make her walk now lol. She’s still in the baby seat tho. We might switch her out next month because shes nearly maxed out on height. She’s 1.5yo now.

For whatever it’s worth. We had the Nuna Rava for my son. He runs hot and this seat had great breathe ability. It helped. $$ tho. He’s been super comfortable in it and it’s held up great over the last 4 years.
Dang. Adelaide is about to be too big by like 8-9 months, she was 27” at the sixth month visit, max is 30”. Also she is heavy to carry in the seat at over 20 pounds.
I don’t think I’m getting the UppaBaby ish again, going Graco like a poor probably.

Slim 2 fit … but I’m pretty sure I bought mine for 149.99 and I guess the tariffs are biting … Jesus 169 for a piece of plastic with foam. And it wasn’t a Amazon crime deal or anything
